TEHRAN PAPERS:

America whitewashes all dictators

December 27, 2022 - 23:15

Appointing Maryam Qajar Azdanloo (Maryam Rajavi) as Iran’s president by the United States, lacks any value in terms of legal and political aspects, the conservative Javan publication wrote. However, it brought to light new dimensions of the nature of Western liberal democracy and the West’s adherence to majority, it said.

Appointing president for another country by the West is not unprecedented in the history of Western dictatorship; however, in the track record of American history and most other Western governments, interference in countries and even appointment of a head of state through a coup against the legitimate government is noticeable.

During the riots over the last 100 days, the role of the terrorist monafeghin group (MKO/MEK) was not supposed to be revealed due to the Iranian people’s hatred of them. But the failure of riots prompted Biden to take out his snake from his magic box so that he might give another life to the riots.

With this stupid act, Biden revealed another secret, and that was why the people of Iran called the monafeghin a terrorist organization since the early days of the Islamic Revolution. Now the young generation is asked that if Iranian girls and women are advised to come to the street without a hijab, why should their president wear a headscarf?

Jomhouri Eslami: Iranian women able to achieve international responsibilities

The conservative publication of Jomhouri Eslami, in its editorial, wrote in the Islamic Republic Iranian women were able to achieve social, political, cultural and even international responsibilities by preserving their dignity and progressing in the field of science, education, research, innovations and inventions alongside men. Statistics show that women are stronger than men in many cases, and they play an important role in running the affairs of the country. 

In part of the article, the writer says it was a good opportunity to encourage women and girls to adhere to Islamic rules, but unfortunately some through their extreme behavior are playing on the enemy’s ground, destroying all these valuable achievements.

Arman-e Melli: Iran should prepare for post-JCPOA 

Fereydoun Majlesi, an international relations analyst, in an interview with Arman-e Melli has suggested that Iran should prepare for the post-JCPOA measures.

In case the JCPOA is not restored, Iran should strengthen its internal capacities on the path of economic development, otherwise the situation will become more difficult than the past, he warned.

He suggested if Iran wants to get out of the sanctions or gain access to free international trade, it should fulfill international obligations and abide by the resolutions of the Security Council, and finally must give a definite answer about the JCPOA proposal, he remarked.

The fact is that we have reached the final days of the agreement. Western countries, including the United States, have realized that the JCPOA is non-existent for the Islamic Republic and they are no longer seeking to bring it to a conclusion.

Ettela’at: Let’s compensate for shortcomings, instead of fighting

Instead of arguing and fighting, let’s think about understanding and cooperation, solving problems and accepting our weaknesses and shortcomings, the Ettela’at newspaper highlighted in a note, expressing dismay over the growing foreign currency prices and rebellious inflation.

The author further advised the Parliament representatives and government officials to pay more attention to science and knowledge and expert advice and stop shifting the blame to the previous government and such projections.
When all kinds of corruption, from petrochemical to oil sectors, are still rampant, and we have given up on reforming state-run companies, and despite our claim in denying the relationship between sanctions and economic growth, in practice we still see the harmful effects of sanctions on the economy, growth, people’s well-being and the price of the dollar. When there is budget deficit, and money printing and borrowing from banking system in various forms are underway, how do we expect that inflation to go down and the dollar not to go up?

 Sharq: Governments are from Mars, people are from Venus 

In its editorial, the pro-reform Sharq newspaper, wrote while the gap is getting bigger day by day between what the government says and promises with what the people feel and what authentic expert studies show, the understanding between the two sides is getting less and less.

Citing some examples, the author wrote that while Iran’s share of the world economy was 1.1 percent during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war it has fallen to 0.25 percent, a military commander has seen Iran’s economy in the 18th place in the world in the last count. 

The minister of oil repeats his priority every day that “we will sell twice as much oil as the previous government and return all the dollars,” but the dollar continues to rise daily and the government’s budget deficit has reached 25 percent and necessary expenses are being paid with difficulty.

Also, air pollution is choking and people cannot breathe easily in most polluted and this toxic pollution is unprecedented in the history of urbanization. However, the mayor of Tehran calls this city a model metropolis of the Islamic world.”

Iranian politicians live in one world, and the Iranian citizens live in another world, far away and disconnected, with two different mentalities and languages, the columnist concluded.
